What occurs in Graduate Teaching Community (GTC) meetings?
GTC meetings are informal, discussion-based gatherings geared toward enhancing the teaching skills of graduate student instructors. Every meeting begins with check-in from participants about their teaching practices and classroom experiences, followed by a discussion of evidence-based teaching and learning strategies facilitated by GTC participants. In Spring 2022,GTC will focus on the theme Structures that Support Student Learning. Under this theme, discussions will be centered on three topics: 1) grading and assessment, 2) student mental health and 3) equity and inclusion.
What are the benefits of joining the Graduate Teaching Community?
Participants gain confidence in the classroom and a deeper understanding of learner-centered, inclusive teaching practices. Participation in the Graduate Teaching Community is also a great feature to include on a CVto demonstrate professional development in teaching. Participants will receive a certificate of participation by attending a required number of sessions, facilitating an informal discussion on a teaching and/or learning topic, and submitting a written reflection on the teaching topics presented.
